If you were single and wealthy?

.....and wanted to get married, would you let the person know you have money, or keep it a secret until you knew that they truly loved you and not after your money?

    If I were single and wealthy I wouldn't get married I would just hire me a young studly looking hot man to tell me how much he adored me and make mad passionate love to me and he would tell me what I wanted to hear because I would pay him to because I already been married so I knew what real love is I would just want this to be all that I wanted its my fantasy right.Whee I better slow down Iam getting to excited I know you didn't say a fantasy but I wanted one today Thank you Iam going for a smoke now.I think I might be to old for a fantasy after all .Sorry I didn't really answer question but I enjoyed it anyway.

    Well, first of all, I'd be checking HIM out! I sure wouldn't marry someone who had less than I have. You can be sure that if that ever happens to me, the guy better be loaded. He's gonna want to spend his money on me, not the other way around! Otherwise, forget marriage. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy his company and have a little fun, but no legal contracts, of any kind.

    If you start a marriage with secrets it will end with secrets as well. Be honest, if you can't use your heart and good sense to determine if he really loves you or if it is your money, then don't marry him.

    Hi Poppy. I am already single, but not wealthy. If I came into a fortune, I'd be too busy traveling the world to think about marriage. It wouldn't be a problem for me.

    On the other hand, I kinda liked Dottie's answer above . . hmmmmm. LOL

    Hmm. I guess I would let them know because if he saw my home and car, he'd realize my financial status without me saying anything. If he wanted to get married, (i'm single) then I would hope having money would not be a factor. Still, I would not want to lose my money for I want my girls to have it. So, it's tied up anyway and iron clad. Plus, knowing me, I'd share some of my wealth anyhow. :)

    love ya

    I would keep it secret. My ex took about 90% of what I had the first time. I got the last laugh I have outlived her so far 5 years.Sadly to quote Willy Nelson" I have outlived my penis" so ain't no use getting married again.

    Want is a four letter word so is need so I would keep my mouth shut and they could take me on who I am and then I would know they married me for love, not love of money

    I'd be honest about it. Why would you marry if you had any suspicion as to whether that person loved you for the money or yourself.

    probably a bit of both

    if you are wealthy, the person is going to see some of that money in where you live, what you drive, how your home is furnished etc etc

    but i might not disclose ALL of the money until i knew how they felt for sure

    If I were single and wealthy and even thinking about getting married ,i would hire someone to talk me out of it.
